Thomas Haden Church says Sandman is in talks to return to the MCU at a later date.

"We had a whole story involving his his daughter, for No Way Home," Church told The DisInsider. "And it just ended up [cut]. There was just so much going on…Amy [Pascal] and Kevin [Feige], we all had a lot of conversations. And I would say that conversations have been had about the possibility of Sandman coming into an a future iteration of it."

"The conversation has happened about him coming back, and maybe picking up a more fulfilling story," Church continued, adding that a potential Flint Marko AKA Sandman return has "been discussed."

Kevin Feige confirmed last month that a fourth Spider-Man film and follow-up to No Way Home is being written. 

"All I will say is that we have the story," Feige told Entertainment Weekly. "We have big ideas for that, and our writers are just putting pen to paper now."

The threequel, which saw the return of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's iterations of Peter Parker, grossed over $1.9 billion at the global box office.
